Cozy spot within walking distance of the Cliff Walk and the Old Harbour. The room was spacious and comfy with a gloriously huge shower and a private patio. Owners Anna Marie and Dave are a delight and served us a delicious breakfast. We wish we had been able to stay longer.

We recently stayed at The Potting Shed and had a fantastic experience. The room was large and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The service was exceptionally friendly, with the owners going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The breakfast pancakes were also a big hit! The accommodation offers great value for money, and we highly recommend for anyone visiting Hermanus!
